This is the first time Keith Thurman has fought twice a year since 2015.. He should be refreshed, in much better condition and much sharper. It's the main reason I'm predicting him to win(that and Pacquiao is 40) There should be Zero excuses for Thurman if he loses.
People give people a lot of crap, but forget he beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter while fighting off ring rust.
That's now how it works... You don't go through injuries, get older, spend time away from training and away from good competition, and come back 100%.
People try to compare boxing to their day jobs. Time away from boxing isn't the same thing.

He was not rusty when he fought Porter and Garcia and he won by a very small amount. He looked bad last fight even for being out so long. Mediocre Lopez almost KOed him.
